Gerald Green on playing for Houston: 'I hope I make this city proud'

As a Houston native, Gerald Green is a diehard fan of all of the city’s sports teams. Now, he’s in the midst of a career-defining playoff run with the Rockets, and scored 21 points off the bench on Wednesday in the Game 2 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Wearing a throwback Warren Moon Houston Oilers jersey at the podium after the win, Green reflected on what it means to play in his hometown on this stage.

"Any time I step on that court, I'm proud. I hope I make the city proud."
